Am I assessing these Speedmasters correctly?

I am looking for my first vintage Speedmaster. Originally I was planning on buying a birth year watch, but realised I much prefer the appearance of the step dial. And it is nice to have a watch from around the time of the landings.

I will order Moonwatch Only, but in the meantime I would be interested in hearing whether I have assessed these watches correctly. I don’t have a huge budget, but would like to end up with a watch that I could wear regularly.

Watch 1:

• Dial/lume/hands look nice. Some discolouration on hands and maybe
• Case looks ok

• Incorrect bezel
• No bracelet.

-No pictures of movement but serial number is in correct range.

Watch 2

+ Dial, movement and case look nice.

• Wrong hands and bezel
• No bracelet.

Watch 3

- Looks nice overall but I don’t think it has a step dial? Hard to tell in pictures.
- Quoted serial number is much too late, but can verify.
+ Bracelet.

Watch 4




+ To my eye looks nice if a little faded. Everything seems to be present and correct.

Watch 5

- Needs tidying up.
- Lume is washed from dial? Uncertain.
+ All components seems original.


Please can you let me know your thoughts on these and whether I have judged them correctly? I am working on a tighter budget, but of course I don’t want to shoot myself in the foot by buying the wrong one.

Thanks in advance!
